| Personal CD player evolution 1. Denon circa 19842. Pioneer DV 525, then modified3. Cary 306/2004. Burmester 0015. Squeezebox2 -> Reimyo DAP777 (Ver.2)Now, the latest combination has been modified, including but not limited to, so that they are synched to one precise master... | |
| Burmester 001 dig pre-amp question. I actually owned 001 in combination with TacT (I still own Tact). I was using 001's pre and kept TacT volume at 93.9. That way, the sound is beautiful. 001's pre is really good. JR may be superb and I don't disagree, but "the fewer box the better"... | |
| How does Berning ZH270 compare to Cary Cad211 AE ? I concur. Before ZH270, I was using Conrad Johnson and loved the magical midrange. BUT, ZH270 does so much better from top to bottom. Sure, I may miss the magical mid, but I can't go back. ZH270 is very natural/ neutral. CJ tended to get hum, but ... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor As long as you make enough money, it shouldn't be a problem. Now, "enough" varies woman by woman.... Good luck. One thing for sure I have realized is that there is something far more important in life than audio. | |
| Speaker choice, help please. Update.I got Essence second-hand here. The coherence, musicality, and enjoyment of this single driver speaker is truly amazing. I know I may be missing real low bass as well as extreme treble, but so far I don't feel I am missing much. I got rid o... | |
| Speaker choice, help please. Thanks. But FTA-2000 seems to be too big. I may, however, contact him in the future. Thanks.By the way, how far can those single drive speakers by apart? This may be a dumb question - depends on the design, etc., but since there is already somethi... | |
| Speaker choice, help please. Gmoodl,Thanks. I will try both ways. If I decided I don't need it, I will get rid of it :-)Like you pointed out, I am leanig toward trying out Jordan stuff. Must be very interesting.Thanks again for your suggestion. | |
| Speaker choice, help please. Thank you.I have listened to Merlin at various shows more than a few times, but somehow was not impressed. Must be the room, though, or different cup of tee.I know the limitation. I know everybody recommends against it. But I have to live with wha... | |
| Speaker choice, help please. Thank you, everyone. I am very intrigued by the idea of single driver, network-less. One more naive question:Wouldn't I need subwoofer? I mean, piano is said to need strong bass capability... I know I would have to listen for myself, but just want... | |
| More EAC/FLAC help please... 1. You have to input your email address @ "EAC" -> "freedb / Database Options". IMHO, EAC-reachable freedb has less databast than the one iTunes-reachable. For not-so-bad CDs, I would recommend to use iTunes for that convenience.2. I don't know... | |
| I need a good quality CD player - with changer Maybe too late a reply...I would (which I actually am doing) get Squeezebox, rip all CDs into your PC's HD and play wirelessly. Squeezebox has digital out and can be conncected to your favorite DAC. The reason for me to get this set up is it is so... | |
| Digital IC's. Harmonic tech Magic or...? Stereovox HDXV. Can't believe it's $100.I haven't compared it with HT stuff, though. | |
| Have you heard the new Zanden digital gear? I attest Jim's comment about Zanden. I have listened to his system for a few times and this DAC upgrade is beyond what I had expected. In short, I listened to the music, not the machine. I envy you, Jim! Ken | |
| GNSC PASI Units? Have been using for 2 years as well. I second Rja's impression. Talk to them, they may offer you a B-stock. In my case, nasty hum from tube amp is gone as well. | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 DD Integration The unit is module based. Kr4 is right and you just have to buy ADC module for 2.0. You may want to ask TacT for its availability. As far as I know, 2.0 has been upgraded to 2.0S, and those two models do NOT share motherboard. |
